Identify which side of the quota you are on
The published walkthrough describes a final order of 60,000 potatoes. Until it is complete, a small-looking pile or an idle workbench is only a visual cue. Read the current objective and check whether processed potatoes are actually moving through the line. The store describes the intended sequence as peeling and delivering potatoes into the water.
Read both HUD panels. A player capture shows the right-hand quota bar at 60,000/60,000, while the left-hand End of the shift card has the fill-quota line ticked and the key and Iron Door still unchecked. In this state, a production upgrade cannot advance the next task. If your bar is short of 100%, follow your batch through the water inlet and check the counter there before looking for a parachute.
If work is done but the page will not advance
Golden Horn changed Master Peeler so that finishing the quota completes the objective and delivers its reward. Older progress stuck on that page is recovered when loaded in the fixed build. Update first and load the affected shift before doing more work or discarding the playthrough. Check the objective and reward again after loading.
Retain the affected save and compare the two values after loading the updated build. A player image captured the Master Peeler task alongside a full quota and the parachute item outdoors; that mismatch is different from an incomplete production count. If the mismatch survives a reload, include both the Journal card and quota bar in the same report so someone can see exactly which part failed to advance.
Recognize two other end-of-shift symptoms
A slowdown alongside a backed-up water channel was also addressed in 1.0.2. It has a different symptom from a static Journal entry after quota completion. Once the final objective moves to collecting the key, continued deliveries are no longer the next story action. Look for the special supply drop outside and keep its potato separate for hand inspection.
Once the Journal asks for the potato with the key, leave the machines and look upward in the open yard. The special delivery has a dark canopy and lines, easily distinguished from a potato tossed by the crane. Follow its descent to the snow and inspect the landed item. In one player’s full-quota shot the item has reached the ground directly in front of them.
